Hi everyone,
I cannot take credit for writing or preparing any of this material because I didn’t, but I am posting it on behalf of the ICP DAO LLC. Personally, I’m bullish and I hope this paper makes you feel this way too.
Keep building,
Seb
Dear ICP Community,
This is an announcement of the upcoming SNS DAO launch for the ICP Community Conference (”ICPCC”) DAO LLC, which will launch a native token called $CONF. This SNS proposal will be submitted to the NNS in 2 weeks on May 4th. The target start date for the SNS decentralization swap sale is May 9th, one day before the ICPCC event on May 10th.
Summary
Project:
- ICPCC DAO LLC is a community-owned and fully self-sustaining decentralized conference event series devoted to highlighting the ICP’s technology and ecosystem.
- The DAO will control 100% of the ICP raised during its SNS swap sale, use the treasury to hire vendors to organize its events, and then receive the income from event ticket sales and sponsorships back into its treasury.
- The ICPCC DAO will be a fully independent Marshall Islands Non-Profit DAO LLC, able to sign legal agreements and manage Intellectual Property via on-chain SNS proposals.
- The DAO will elect an “ICPCC Council” of 3-5 notable ICP ecosystem leaders to shape critical proposals for the DAO to vote on.
Tokenomics:
- $CONF will be the native token required for tickets, VIP perks, and merch for future ICPCC events. It will also serve as the SNS governance token.
- 41% of the token supply will go towards SNS swap sale participants, a new record for SNS DAOs! Code & State will receive 4% according to the same vesting schedule as the SNS swap sale participants.
- 4% of the token supply will be airdropped to all SNS Swap sale participants who contributed the first 80,000 ICP raised as an “early bird” bonus.
- 4% of the token supply will be airdropped to ICPCC 2023 & 2024 attendees.
- After a successful SNS swap sale, Johann Hartman is expected to submit a Request Motion proposal asking ICPCC DAO LLC to add 23,600 $CONF from its treasury alongside a comparable amount of $ICP as liquidity to a DEX, based on the max contribution limit set during the SNS launch.
How ICPCC DAO LLC is making history:
- It will become the 1st self-sustaining Web3 event series with a fully DAO-controlled treasury.
- It will be the 1st SNS DAO to be guided by a self-elected “ICPCC Council,” which will give it complete control over a leadership team it owns and manages.
- It will be the 1st off-chain SNS DAO. An “off-chain DAO” means it will operate as a real-world legal entity to manage off-chain activities. In this case, the DAO will manage its treasury to fund in-person and virtual events.
